Parents and Families Association Events and Meetings

The Adelphi University Parents and Families Association Board encourages you to attend meetings and events to meet other Adelphi parents and stay informed about resources and programs that support Adelphi students.

Perhaps you met one of the Parents and Families Association Board members at this past summer’s Parent/Family Orientation sessions, or on Move-In Day. We hope to see you at one of these upcoming events to continue our association.

During Adelphi’s Spirit Weekend, join us for the Annual Meeting and PFA Board Elections —10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Performing Arts Center, Second Floor, Multipurpose Room. All parents are encouraged to attend. Our topic this year is: Health and Safety — What Parents Want to Know — presentations and Q&A with our Health Services Center and Public Safety Department. Interested in a position on the PFA Board? All are welcome to apply; just email parents@adelphi.edu.
